Lyrics
He had time on his hands
He carried the world on his shoulders
He said meet me at the Hudson's edge
Help me roll my boulder

Remember when I went down, runnin' down
I took the B61 across town
To where he was waiting at the ice house
Wish it was my house
Took me out back for a drink
Showed me the heart on his sleeve

Love is a daily good thing
I see it in your smolder
I can't feel it in my hands
And I'm wringing them more now I'm older

Remember when I went down, runnin' down
I took the B61 across town
To where you were waiting at the ice house
Wish it was my house
Took me out back for a drink
Showed me the heart on your sleeve

Like ships in the night we go down without light
And we burn up all our anthracite
And try to make a spark

Find a crack and let it in, it'll come, it might be dim
Adjust your eyes, I know you can
You'll find me in the dark
How will I know if I'm the last one alive?
I'm the last one alive
(I'm the last one alive, I'm the last one alive)

For forty-one days and as many nights
I'll be standing where we stood
Under an indigo sky
Watching flames jump from firewood
